    On our second tacoma. First was a 2016 SR5 CC 4x4. Was in an accident and there were issues with repair and other insurance drama. Got it sold and recovered some extra through diminished value. Second time around we did it right and got the TRD OR loaded with all the factory options in cement.

    I retired from the US Navy in 2008 and the wife retired Nov. 9th 2018. We have 70 acres in AZ and are moving out of Virginia Beach in 1 week. Our property is 45 minutes from pavement, so it seemed appropriate that we get a commuter that would fit the bill as my 2016 F-350 CCLB DRW seems better suited to pulling our RV.

    Anyhow, gonna take the Tacoma down the roads and see what shakes out for a bit and then look at modifications.

    Nothing personal, but.......Nearest neighbors are my inlaws at 1.5 miles away and that's almost to close. :thumbsup:

    Nailed it. Been to all the other continents and 75 or so countries in the world. Saw enough. Now it's time to have home base and take the RV traveling and see this one I live in. As stated above, In Laws are close on their 170 acres and sister in law is nearby on her 65 acres. They all have horses and other animals that I can help take care of without actually owning. ;)

    I don't have any by itself, but it's parasitic attachment is kind of cool too. :cool: It just got new shoes last week. Same as the stock tires on the 2018 TRD OR, Goodyear with Kevlar.

    Nope, and I don't think it will. It has the heavy duty front suspension option, IE: F-450 wide track front end. I have never heard of this option or the F-450/550 having the death wobble.
